If You Could Only Own One Smith & Wesson… What Would It Be?

My 6 inch 686. 38/357....

I'd keep my Brazil contract (1917) .45 acp DA revolver. It shows only storage wear, but like new mechanically. It was delivered to Brazil in 1946, the year & month of my birth. So EXTRA special to me.

If you could choose just one Smith & Wesson firearm to own—whether for personal defense, fun at the range, or collecting—what would it be and why?

Would you pick a classic like the Model 29, a reliable Shield Plus, or something unique?

I’d love to hear what the community values most, as this could influence an upcoming giveaway contest!

What's your must-have Smith & Wesson?

My favorite choice is a four inch Model 66. You can use less expensive .38 special for target practice and general plinking, and the .357 loads can handle a wide variety of other issues. Of course, I am faced with a dilemma: I gave my Model 66 to my 22 year old grandson!

A toss up between my 4" M-57 and 6" M-28, probably lean to the latter since the 6" M-28 is as close to an all-around revolver as we'll ever have.

I have always liked the s&w break top single action 44 russian. they were so expensive when I was young but now I am 83 and they make copies. I have 4 of them in different calibers and one original in 44 russian.
